Turn Your Data into Actionable Insight

In today’s competitive business landscape, data is a key differentiator. Companies that can effectively leverage data can gain a competitive advantage and drive business success.  

Your business is holding a treasure trove of valuable data. Tapping into this data can unleash valuable insights into your operations and provide you with the information you need to make strategic decisions that drive growth and innovation. 

Analytics is the tool that drives strategic business decisions to help you stay at the forefront of your competition.

Gone are the days when business decisions used to be made on gut feeling or by copying others. In this digital age, guesswork won’t work.

With the volume of data your business generates, you can no longer afford to be anything but data centric. Your data needs to be well-organized, accurate, and readily available.

Case Study

The client, a global asset management bank looking to identify and design enhancements for their risk management and performance reporting capabilities.

They were having challenges evaluating trends and patterns from disparate data sources and they also had a secondary focus on portfolio management and monitoring.  They needed to implement three basic styles of data modeling:

  • Identifying entity types
  • Identifying attributes
  • Applying naming conventions
  • Identifying relationships
  • Applying data model patterns
  • High-level conceptualization
  • Assigning keys
  • Normalizing to reduce data redundancy
  • De-normalizing to improve performance

These improvements enabled the Chief Information Officer to track performance drivers of various portfolios and evaluate risk metrics of investment themes.

Their new unique portfolio manager was re-designed for the client’s needs with the capabilities to forecast NAV, better manage cash reserves and monitor capital flow. You can read the full data services case study here.
